It was constructed from pieces of Tupperware and other stuff I found around the kitchen to give it the right peaked shape. Because of that, I chose to make the “roof” of the clock tower not be made out of cake. Since I needed to transport the cake to an off-site party location, I wanted to be able to hold onto the tops of the metal skewers during the car ride to make sure the tower didn’t topple over. I made the clock faces out of white and black sugar sheets and used an edible ink pen to write in the numbers. I pushed 2 regular-sized and 2 mini Kit Kat bars into the icing on all four sides to give it some decoration. Afterwards, I carefully blew copper sugar dust that I got on the baking aisle at Michael’s all over the tan icing to give it a shimmer. I then mixed chocolate icing with a little bit of vanilla icing to get a tan base color and frosted all sides of the clock tower.

I was not concerned about it leaning and falling anymore. That gave the entire clock tower the stability it needed. I put one in each corner of the squares and then four more spread out through the middle. I used 8 metal kabob skewers that ran up through the cake and the acrylic squares (that had holes drilled to accommodate the skewers). In between each square, I put a hard plastic square to give it added stability (I just bought some of those cheap acrylic picture frames from Michael’s.) A solid port of Exidy's Targ (arcade, 1980), Universal Chaos has players piloting a battle coupe through. First, I cut the cake into several same-sized squares (I have a cake pan with a grid on the bottom, so that made this part very easy.) I stacked the cake squares on top of each other, making sure that the most level and sturdiest pieces were on the bottom. Maze Shooter, 1 or 2 players (alternating). So to help keep the clock tower from leaning or crumbling, I took several steps. After doing a practice cake a couple of weeks before, I knew that stability was going to be a key factor. The Big Bentley clock tower was, of course, the complicated part. I cut a square hole in one corner of the base cake to insert the clock tower. I formed the number “6” race track on top of the cake out of crushed up Oreo’s and melted butter and put several of the other race cars on the track along with checkered race flag toothpicks that I had picked up at a party store. The base was just a simple half-sheet yellow cake with green frosting (made from vanilla icing & green food coloring). Meanwhile, Holly and Finn are escaping from Big Bentley. We decided to go with the scene where Lightning and Mater are hooked together and flying over London and Mater has a bomb under his hood. Use #A# to represent Andrew's age, #B# to represent Brian's age and #C# to represent Charles's age.For his 6 th birthday, my son requested a Cars 2 cake. Once you have a symbolic representation of the problem - typically in the form of a set of simultaneous equations to be solved, try eliminating variables one at a time by rearranging terms, using basic arithmetic operations and substitutions.Eventually this process will probably lead to values (or at least constraints) for all of the unknowns.Ĭonvert these values or constraints back into the context and language of the problem to express the solution.įor example, suppose Andrew is half the age of Brian, Brian is three times older than Charles and the sum of their ages is 44 years. If a mathematical problem is expressed in words, then first try to express all the relevant information in the problem in terms of symbols representing unknowns, in the form of equations, inequalities, etc.
